RIP Tim Law, Model for the Rolfing® Logo

This image shows the "Little Boy Logo" used by Rolfers™ and the Rolf Institute®. It's one of those "a picture tells a thousand words" things that with immediacy explains the work of Rolfing® Structural Integration.

The logo was drawn back in the '70s and is based on the body structure of an actual person, a client of Dr. Ida Rolf. The client was a child at the time, and had structural issues from Legg-Perthes disease, if I recall correctly.

I will always remember the day some 15 years ago I met Tim Law. He pointed to this logo on my business cards, and said "That's me."

Tim Law passed away a few days ago of cancer. Journey well, Tim – the gratitude and appreciation of the Rolfing community go with you. For us, you are immortal.
